Honduras Plan Seeks Rail Line From Pasrte Cortez to Bay of Fonseca
The concession outlines a syndicate including Seward Webb and others to build and operate a railroad from Pasrte Cortez to the Pacific coast Bay of Fonseca. For each mile, the government grants five square miles of adjacent land and alternate sections where roads pass public lands. The syndicate may issue bonds up to 20 000 gold per mile and can transfer rights to private parties or corporations, but not to foreign governments. A Commercial Bank of Honduras with capital of 560 000 gold will act as fiscal agent, and the project calls for ships and a coast guard to curb smuggling.
